Waarom het werkt
Turn-taking is a fundamental social skill that supports later cooperative play. At this age, children are transitioning from parallel to associative play, making it the ideal time to practice simple cooperation (Parten, 1932). Research shows that social skills learned during these early years predict school readiness and academic achievement, with peer interaction quality at age three correlating with better task engagement in kindergarten (Fantuzzo et al., 2007).
Tips voor ouders
Start with just three or four turns each to match your child's attention span.
If your child wants to add multiple blocks, gently remind them it's a taking-turns game.
Make it playful by counting blocks together or naming colors as you build.
